UK jury trials for crimes with sentences under 3 years to be dropped
The United Kingdom on Tuesday unveiled its reform plans to scrap jury trials for crimes with an expected sentence of less than three years. The measure aims to reduce a “record backlog of cases” in the criminal justice system, which is estimated to rise to 100,000 cases by 2028.

Elephant Micah - Where In Our Woods (2015)
Attesissimo nella scena folk indipendente (sospetto più dagli addetti ai lavori che dagli ascoltatori), il nuovo disco di Joe O’Connell, “Where In Our Woods”, arriva quasi in sordina agli inizi ancora infreddoliti e letargici di questo 2015. E, di conseguenza, si presenta in punta di piedi, rinunciando all’intensità del precedente, forse insuperabile “Louder Than Thou”, vero “vangelo” del cantautorato americano di pochi anni fa... artesuono.blogspot.com/2015/01…

Data Centres delay housing delivery in London
A typical data centre now requires significant, concentrated power—sometimes equivalent to the needs of tens of thousands of homes. As the sector expands, these large, site-specific demands can add pressure to local parts of the grid and create challenges for connecting new developments. These pressures make it harder and more costly to bring forward new homes, with implications for London’s wider economic growth and its ability to meet housing targets.

Any reason NOT to switch to ProtonVPN from Mullvad?
Is there any reason NOT to switch to ProtonVPN from Mullvad?
Use cases: privacy, torrenting without getting a DMCA letter.
OSs: Linux, Mac.
I know there was a reason I didn't pick up Proton years ago when PIA got bought by Kape but I don't remember what it was. I'd read something on /r/VPNTorrents but that place has since been banned so I can't refer to it again.

![stupid_asshole69 [none/use name]](images/person-80.jpg)
I have both and I use both.
The big benefit from mullvad is that you can get anonymous much easier, it’s easier to ditch an account and it’s harder for you to screw it up. People get mad about proton turning over metadata to authorities or suspending account access but they’re required to do that by law if they can identify the accounts. The structure of what proton offers requires that they have some way of verifying who a user is, so if you’re okay with being able to be identified if someone really tries (or doesn’t really try that hard if you give them payment information or something) then proton is fine for you.
Air is a good cheap vpn for piracy. If you wanna take the maybe smarter route of using separate services for your own privacy and for piracy that’s what I’d do.

What is the best way to get or request a relatively new textbook?
They are not on Anna's Archive or on MaM. They are available for digital purchase from SpringerPub or Amazon.
Is there a different tracker for textbooks and reference materials?
How likely is it that a request will be fulfilled. Would someone need to buy the book themself and upload it?

Is it essential that you get the 3rd edition? 1st and 2nd are on Library Genesis+ (from 2017 and 2021 respectively)
Otherwise, my university had some deal with Springer that allowed the purchase of a softcover book for 25€ (I think it increased to 50€ later), but also free access for the online edition (though not necessarily the whole book in a single PDF, but each chapter separately). Have you checked for similar deals at your university's library?

Public AI: Free and Ethical AI models with Social good in mind
Found from Bruce Shneier's blog. This model is free, ad-free, privacy respecting, and likely to stay that way. If you or folks you know are heavily using GPT, and likely to be hurt when it starts introducing ads (and otherwise enshittifying) soon, do make sure they know there are alternatives like this.
This particular chat model uses a system prompt chosen by the swiss government, with the intention of providing LLM access as a public utility (like a library). I believe models are intentionally trained on ethical datasets (see the details of Aptertus here), with an effort towards sustainable energy use.

This is the definition of ethically sourced data from the Apertus website:
[...] the training corpus builds only on data which is publicly available.
So they still train on Websites, Blogs and Social Media. Ethical my ass.
